In Gov. Ron DeSantis’ fight to eradicate “wokism” from schools and the workplace, a bill has made it through committee that has promise of making it to his desk to become law.
HB 148 or the “Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act (WOKE),” which the governor said would “do a number of things that are very important”, is now being heard by the judiciary committee.
